The competition had previously been delayed due to a separate crash in the day’s second race, with the third resulting in a car cartwheeling into the camera tower, causing the structure to topple over.

Luckily, ITV cameraman Phil White was “sore” but otherwise unharmed by the collision.

After today's accident at the BTCC we can reconfirm our cameraman is sore but unharmed. We thank everyone for their concern & well wishes.
